Nice coin. While, it's a worn coin, the face shows some personality.

If you can take and enlarge the images, we might can take a shot at IDing it. I tried copying your images and enlarging, but they became too fuzzy.

BTW, Jerry, "bottle cap" is the nickname for these serrated coins. The purpose of the serrated edge appears to have been purely decorative. I've been wanting some of these for a while now, but, alas, none in my collection for now.

Is yours Seleucid?

I'm looking at a serrated Seleucid coin to buy with Christmas money :D

Here was my attribution. These are common coins and can usually be bought for around $5 or in lots for cheaper.
